Yoshihide Muroya (JPN), winner: “It was really close today, but our teamwork worked out. The wind had shifted 180 degrees, so it was very, very difficult to get through Gate 7 today. I think maybe everyone was struggling there.

It’s important to win to maximise the points, and our flights were very consistent from Free Practice 1 to the Final, so we’re really happy about that.”

Martin Šonka (CZE), 2nd: “There was another close race in Wiener Neustadt last year, though not quite this close, and we were the lucky ones to be first – this time it’s Yoshi. It was a beautiful race here, and I’m looking forward to enjoying it on TV at home.”

Michael Goulian (USA), 3rd: “I am super satisfied. All you can do is put yourself in a position to win by consistent flying and flying fast, and we did that today. Sometimes you win and sometimes you don’t, so hats off to Yoshi and Martin.

But this is the way you start off a campaign – we have momentum that we carried from last year, so this race in Abu Dhabihas been a great way to start.”
